Playbook Touchscreen - Interference from Gym Equipment
So I took my new Playbook to the gym and placed it against the display on the elliptical (this also happened on the stationary bike) and the touch screen was flaky - not scrolling properly and being very sluggish. This went away when I picked up the device. It seemed that laying it against the LED display of the equipment resulted in some sort of interference that messed with the Playbook. This is not new - I have a Kobo Vox and had the exact same experience on this equipment. Interestingly, my iPad 2 does not display this type of behaviour (better shielding?).
Has anybody ever experienced this? I ordered a case for the Playbook and am hoping it provides a little more shielding. Thanks!
